Caucasoids - Italians or French. Mix between dark, almost Semitic looking in Sicily to pale, sometimes blue-eyed and blonde in the far northern Alpine provinces. They have strong Caucasoid features - long nose, thin nostrils, being hirsute.
Mongoloids - Inuits, Yakuts (of Siberia), Mongolians, Manchus. They have the most 'hyper-Mongloid' features among the population of any peoples I can think of. Some individuals in Korea, Northern and Central China have these features, but they're not as defined as the groups I mentioned. A lot of Southern Chinese have some 'Astraloid' admixture, the Thais and then the Malays even more.
Australoids - The Australian aborigines. Often said to be the most divergent of the non Sub-Saharan African groups, their cranial structure differs from most populations. Papuans and Melanesians come next, as well as the 'Negrito' of Indonesia, Philippines and Malaysia.
Negroids - The natives of the Congo (Zaire) have a mixture of both dark skin and typical 'Negroid' features. Sudanese are black, but they are different from the stereotypical West Africa American idea of 'blackness.'
The pygmies might be another group.
I don't really believe in the concept of race, but these are the main 'types.' I wouldn't use the word 'purest', but I see them as the most 'typical' example of their type. Most other populations seem a mixture of the types.
Like I said Malays are a mix of Mongoloid and Astraloid type. Same as Polynesians.
Ethiopians seem a mix of Caucasoid and Negroid.
Dravidian Indians a mix of Astaloid with some Caucasoid.
Kazakhs, Uyghars and maybe Sami are a mix of Caucasoid and Mongoloid genetics.
They're not set groupings, just general 'looks.' I hope this thread is not deleted, as the purpose is not to bash any race, or say that the 'pure' races are better. I personally find so-called mixed women most attractive, for instance.

I said typical of 'Caucasoids' which include Middle Easterners and Northern Indians. They represent the WHOLE group. If you're talking 'White' people as in Europeans sans the darker southerners than maybe the original Celtic people could be a candidate. The 'whitest' people - Irish and some Scandinavians - are extreme in terms of skin colour, but morphologically the Finns have more similarities to the Sami than say Germans do.

Facially they are certainly more hyper-Caucasoid than say the Eastern Slavs. Geneticists have found DNA common among the Mongol hordes in populations as far west as Hungary.

At last, it's all paying off! Ma would be so proud.
